"I think he's blackmailing the managers" he nodded "or he's got someone blackmailing the managers. There's no other way, there are plenty of amazing tenors in Paris, why keep hiring that chubby diva?"

"I know quite a few of them, if you need names. Either from listening to auditions or performing with them, and I try to remain on good terms with former castmates."
*The idea that he was blackmailing the managers seemed quite plausible. It was probably the reason Christine Daae kept getting cast, even when there were plenty better than her (perhaps not including Ophelia; she wasn't quite right for Marguerite).*

"That would be amazing, we can't make the auditions private sadly something about being fair" he stuck his tongue out "but if you could get your tenor friends to show up that would great!"

"So the auditions are soon, then? What is the plot? The characters?"

"Yes, okay, now we haven't told anyone about this, it's kind of been a secret" he took her arm and started moving down the hall, not really caring whether she protested. "It's about a married couple who get in to a huge fight, they both storm off and ask the help of two different demons to help destroy their other. The main characters are the wife, the husband, a female demon and a male demon."
He grinned "You see the demons have been waiting in the shadows for the perfect moment to strike so when the couple blow up and find them, they blow the situation out of hand and make a bad situation worse! But everyone's happy in the end!" He didn't want to give it all away just yet, not until the totally finished the script.

*She nodded.* "So a comic opera, then?" *Good, she liked those better than tragedies, as suited to mad ingenues as she was.*

"Yes, yes, there are going to be some sad parts though, and some tragic parts, but mostly comedic, it's going to be huge and loud and fun!"

*She actually grinned, her cheeks dimpling. Halfway because she really did like comic operas, and halfway because premiering in an opera not only paid, but opened up other jobs. Especially in a Mozart opera.* "Oh, good. I like them so much better with happy endings."

"Well I'm already warmed up, and we are in an opera house..." *She'd meant they could duck into another rehearsal room, but this worked too. In her head she heard the orchestrations, and she took up a proper singing position and took a deep breath before opening her mouth.*

Mozart stared the entire time taken back, his ears had been raped more times than not by sopranos who only wished they could hit notes the girl before him hit. As she finished, he continued to stare "Oh my god" and began to laugh "you will be the wife! You will no audition, you've got the part!"

*As legitimately pleased as she was, there was a certain sense of pride in being told she was good, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself. If her mother could see her--but that was another issue, and her mother probably didn't even know who he was anyway. She beamed.* "If you need me for development, here's my card..."
*She pulled out a social calling card, the kind one found in all the most fashionable salons, carried by all the most fashionable ladies. She didn't often go out, or even visit people in Society (they disapproved of opera singers for the most part) but it was always convenient to have.*

Mozart took the card and smiled "And I will! In fact, now don't think I'm being forward, would yolu mind ever so much as to coming to my apartment so that I may use you for all the soprano parts in the play? So when we cast them, they actually know what they're suppose to sound like? Or more, so we know what they're suppose to sound like?"
He'd do this with his other main characters as well, but she was the first and he didn't care what stupid old Ludwig would say, he wanted the girl in the show.
